if you have the zero lift kit ( rubber piece ) on the front then take it off....go at an angle if you leave it on....but i had it on and still would scrap in certain places...then i hit some animals and a road gator on the interstate...screwed it all up so i finally took that crap off....got a beatrush underpanel now...way more clearance

Look at the bright side, if you forget to set the brake and your car rolls out of the garage it will high center before going into the street.

I would take your driveway in a heartbeat, that's not much of an incline. My driveway has a pretty severe incline, I've hated it for the past 25 years. I have to angle my Evo and wind up the engine a bit to get momentum just to climb that sucker. Even then my tail pipe on Evo and my past cars are always flat spotted from scraping. No lowered suspension for me .
